REVERSIBLE CUSHION.

Appiieation riierinareiiis, 1922.. 'serial Naseem?. l

To all who/mit concern.' y Be itV known that I, VinsiNiA M; Mo-

-GARvnY, a citizen'ofthe lUnited. States, vreev siding atvBrunswick, inthe county of .Glynn andState of Georgia, have invented certain new anduseful improvements in Reversible lowing to be a full, clear, and exactvdescrip- .tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it apper' tains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and usefulv improvements in cusliionsandmore partic-Y ularly to a reversible cushion.

ject of the invention to .provide a cushion. which can be used inchairs, settees or the like for any other purpose to which the same isadaptable wherein two different types of covering are arranged .upon thecushion and so disposed that the cushion can be readily reversed wherebyeither type of covering will be exposed toi' use."

A further object oi` the invention is the provision or" a reversiblecushion which is particularly adapted toi' use'during the ditt'erentseasons of the year. The cushion Vis preferably covered with twodifferent types of material, one being of substantially heavy.

dark type for use during the winter months, and the other being ofsubstantiallyy light weight and coloi as is customarily used dnrf ingthe summerseason.. 'l

The invention embodies the idea of a skirt or skirt-like portionattached to the peripheral or marginal edge of one of the faces of thecushion, the skirt being pretL erably or" the same material asv the taceto which it is attached, thel skirtbeing adapted to be drawn close tothe sides or wall separating the faces of the cushion, there being adraw string or the like at the 'free end of the skirt tor drawing thesaine about the wall .or side of the cushion, the skirt being of alength toallow the draw. string edge of the skirt to be disposedadjacent the opposite face oftheA cushion. y

The above and other novel features of the invention will appearV fromtheV detailed description taken in connection with lthe Vacompanyingdrawings, and 'will bey set forth in the-claims. VIn the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a cushion constructed in accordance` withmy inve-ntion; Y

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view ot. Fig. l,

it vis y,an ob-V understood. V'elastic member as will be readily appre.

` showing the reverse side otfthe cushion, the

skirt being drawn aboutv the4 sides of the cushion'and the free endsthereof disposed against the opposite face of the cushion..

' iaagzg i AWT [ser tlat cushion of any suitable interior`coiistruction. l indicates'a heavy,- dark material arranged over oneface' and sideof the cushion, and'2 indicates a light-weight materialwhich completes the .coveringxof the cushion, the two materials beingjoined at Atheiry marginal edges 3'in a'ne'at and-suit-f ablemanner, orin a Ania-nner giving'anoub;

line as is customary?.l

.In order to give the cushion the sein-v blance otbeing entirely coveredwith light weight or summer material, there is provid-l ed acontinuation of such light weight material in the formfot a skirt 5which extends from the marginal or peripheraledge of the cover face 2.VThe treeA or outer end of this skirt is provided with a'draw string 4;whereby theV skirt may be drawn snugly against the side of the cushionYas clearly shown in Figs. l, 2 and, thereby giving the cushion theappearance Vof being entirely covered .with light weight material ormaterial ofasingle Vcolor or texture` Should it be desired to reversethev cuela- .ion to expose the dark or heavy covering l, the skirt isdrawn back over the face to which itis attached or of which it is acontinuation, as shown in Fig. 4f. To

effect this, it ismerely necessary to release the .draw string ifthevlatter is a eXible .but nonfextensible"member and then to open upthe end of therskirt and draw the same over lthe cushion as will. bereadily The draw string may bean ciated and in such caseV it is ofcourse merely wnecessary to" stretch the elastic member Vto draw theskirt back overthe cushion.V y From the Vabove description it Vwill beseen thatI haveprovided what, as regards` rfaces of the cushionwith'a-skirt which is adapted to vcover the sides Yot the cushion,l

ioo

but which. may be disposedvin out ofuse position'when it is desired .toexpose theY other face and corresponding sides of the` cushion. ATheinvention yis sirnple but of great practical utility' and l 'desire 'itto he understood that intend no limitations ony the invention eXcept asmay be defined by Y the appended clairns. c Y

claim: lil A" cushion including a stationary cover attached to one faceof the cushion and eX,-

YYtending over. the edges thereofand onto the vopposite face of thecushioinvan additional coverfmeinher attached Sto the tace of the,

cushion opposite the irst cover and connected. with the extended edgesof, the first cover, said second cover having` its free edges projectingbeyond the connected portion to provide a skirt7V and a flexible draw`string attached to the free edges ,of the second cover.:h

2.. A4 cushion of the class described including` a cover ni'ei'nbernormally enclosing one face andA the side' edgeso' the ycushion withitsfedge extending. onto the opposite face of .the cushion, an'additional coverV meinher `enclosing the opposite face of Vthe cushionand, having connection; with the edge of the first covering,` Vthe 'freeedges of the ,second covering having aA flexible draw-string connectedthereto. Y i

3., A. fiat' cushion comprising' opposite contrasting faces, aseparating wall between the marginal edges of said faces, the said wallbeing ,of the saine pattern as one of the said i'aces',v askirtVattached to the peripheral edges of thatV Vface which contrasts with thesaid wall and of the saine Vpatternl as the iast mentioned. face, saidskirt being o a' lengthvto allow Ythefrcecend of the skirt to cover upthe wall Y and extend over the peripheral edges et the.. contrastingface" said skirt also adaptedy 'to Ybe drawn back from saidwali and tohe disposed against., the cushion face ofthesarne pattern asthev skirt.:

IL .zThe combination oi' a cushion havingV two di'fer'entfaces'Rr askirt attrici/ledvr to the marginal edge of, :and being of thegsainematerial as, oneV of said. faces and'o-a length to cover the sides ofVthe cushion,1Y
